Food: We still have some strawberry-rhubarb pie left over. It's pretty great. Rhubarb has a tartness to it that is very pleasing in conjunction with the strawberries. We used a graham cracker crust for the bottom. I used an extra layer of aluminum foil around the glass pie pan to prevent it from burning, but it seems that was unnecessary. We were concerned that it was too runny and that the graham cracker crust would not hold, but it firmed up significantly after refrigerating. We used a frozen-butter-in-food-processor recipe for the top crust; cut down on the butter a bit but it still turned out good. Somewhat bland, though; maybe next time we add some sugar and vanilla or something.
Fishes: Saw a tiny fish! Maybe. I thought it moved like a fish, but SC thinks it moved like a shrimp. And it's probably more likely to be a shrimp, anyways. But we definitely saw one, a sort of grey-transparent color, quite small, hiding out around the jar.
Helicopter: Figured out the transmission noise...it's definitely on the wireless side. It helps to move the receiver closer to the transmitter, but I thought it was supposed to have at least a 30m range? Anyways, the telemetry is looking really good today. Still struggling with controlling the yaw mode; have now resorted to using the transmitter knob (channel 5) to control the gain, so I can play with it in real-time.
